school districts to serve as pilot sites for the statewide transformation of South Carolina's schools. These four represent urban, small rural, and large rural districts. The districts plan to provide extensive professional development opportunities for teachers, use published character education materials innovatively, and have technology play a major role in facilitating the exchange of information among the districts. In New Jersey, the State Department of Education is working with the Newark School District and the Newark Do Something Fund, a community development agency, to develop an urban pilot project in character education. The program intends to infuse character education into the curriculum renewal process in the 62 Newark schools that have any combination of grades K-8. The project also plans to establish the New Jersey Character Education Network that will provide public and private schools a range of character education strategies, procedures, and program designs.
